Please try getting Syslinux to run first on your USB drive, and later on adding FreeDOS. Are you sure all Syslinux/FreeDOS files are in the root of your USB drive? I guess so, from my limited amount of Linux knowledge.
I think HPA included a script for installing Syslinux to USB drives in the Syslinux package, which is currently at 3.07 or so.
Anyway, it looks like a problem with loading Syslinux, or does Syslinux itself work OK but FreeDOS bootsector fails?
a bit more info please.
www.fdos.org/kernel contains latest interim builds from CVS.
